Firearms
cops swooped on a van in north London, seizing this gun and arresting
two men.
The
Armed Response Vehicle officers stopped the white van at 10.25pm in
Truro Road, Wood Green on January 9.
The
vehicle was searched and the revolver and ammunition found.
The
men, aged 21 and 29 years-old, were arrested for possessing a
firearm, with intent to endanger life, and taken into custody.
Assistant
Commissioner Mark Rowley said: "Day in and day out detectives
and firearms officers continue to combat gun crime to protect
Londoners.
“I
am proud of what they do and their resilience and focus to continue
even in the midst of this week’s news.
“Armed
criminals have killed more than 50 people in this city - from all
communities -- in the past 3 and half years.
“We
send out well-trained, professional armed officers nearly every day
to protect the public from this threat.”
